This caravan isn’t.. weird, is it?>Talk to Miyuki about being a changeling, and ask her if she had ever changed into an animal before. We’ve been a boar once, and fairly recently a chicken, but that’s it.“Why do you have the princess bound?” You shoot a look between the halfling, the changeling, and the princess squirming in her ropes. “This–.. isn’t something weird, right, my lady..?”
“Because they’ve kidnapped me! Look, redneck..” The princess hisses at you. “Just cut these goddamn ropes and help me out of this shitheap into the nearest town and it’s a hundred thousand gold pieces on your name. That sounds good, right? Come on..”
“We didn’t kidnap her. Well.. didn’t bring her all the way out here, at least.” Your master catches the glint of suspicion in your eye. “We’re bringing her back to the safety of the king. We had to bind her to prevent her from running into some town chasing adventure. I don’t like kowtowing to the king and stifling a girl’s wanderlust, but.. there was a gold reward on offer, and it's a better alternative to her getting slain and eaten by goblins. They find half-elf meat sweet, like honey ham. That applies to you too, Snuff. Watch your ears next time you’re in the sea.”
“A-ah. I see.” You make a mental note of that as you turn your attention to the changeling. “I must say, though.. this is the first I’ve seen a changeling in person.”
“And this is the second time I’ve seen a half-elf.” Miyuki whispers back.
You observe her form–tall, lithe, translucent white skin that appears almost damp, like an amphibian.. how curious. “Can you turn into an animal? I’ve seen a boar once, and a chicken, but that’s about it..”
“Only humanoids–bipeds are.. hard. Different. Some changelings can, but I can’t.” The girl sighs–and with a thin burst of steam that bubbles from the pores on her arms like smoke from a caldera, her purple rags twist, altering in hue and taking on another shape, spine twisting and cracking as it shrinks. The rags go green, the body goes small.. and you’re face to face with yourself. “See? Easy.”
“Oh-woah. Neat..” Your mouth hangs agape, taking a few steps around her and looking yourself up and down. You’re kind of skinny, huh?
